I've rebuilt countless race engines that were run without filers (Triumph (motorcycle & car), H-D, Jaguar, MG, Ford, Datsun, etc. After three or race weekends the motors were ready for a rebore. Putting a low resiriction airfilter on those same engines did not result in lower laps times & allowed the engine to last an entire season. Resulting teardown s showed negligible wear.

Your choice.

I've ran several weber systems with K&N filters similar to those in post # 16 above. They ran great. A properly designed air filtration system will not impact a weber system that is jetted for it. It does take exra effort to set up however, and some people take a convienent shortcut then justify it by stating, "it runs better without filters"


total hogwash.
